vTuner program is a kind of Internet broadcasts "super tuner", but limited to those broadcasted in RealPlayer format.
When you select a radio station, it opens realplayer (if installed) or the default system's player (provided they support the Real format, otherwise it will display an error message). If you select a TV broadcast, you’ll see exactly the same thing: You can listen ... yes, you can just hear the broadcast.
Displays all information about the selected station, reliability rating based on developers continuous testing, ratings related, Go To Web site button.
vTuner Plus has organized all the stations by Location or by format, to aid you in your searching.... Once the play button is pressed, real or default player should be launched and start playing the station.
Personally, I think it is a computer program aimed to people with severe motor or intellectual handicaps.
With vTurner you can schedule stations, shows and events for playback, search for shows , view station's ratings, sound, speed, etc., receive extra station info, bandwidth output, find out about future events, one-button scanning from search, browse or favorite group listings, inform a friend(s) via e-mail about a station(s), shows or events, scan stations according to your specified time interval, and many more.
Pros
- Really helpful for handicapped
Cons
- Lacks its own player
- Retrieves many useless information
I'm using the vTuner app on a Sansung 65HU8500 curved TV but this is not working like it should.I have a list of favorites so I can select the station I want, but when I turn off the TV and start again, I go to the smart hub and select internet radio, but it will not load the last used station :-( Every time I need to select the station, even the TV shows "now playing ....", but no sound, only when I select the station manual I get sound. Also exiting the menu through favorites or last played makes no difference, I will not load the last used station! Find the sound quality of this app to be better the receivers I use like Onkyo and Marantz, that also use the vTuner portal, but they do load the last used station after turned Off.When I load a station and exit the portal to watch TV, and go back to vTuner, then it will load the last used station. I will loose the data when the TV is turned off. Other Internet stuff is saved without problems, just vTuner data not.Can this be changed?So, "just" 2 stars, as soon as this is working OK it will be 5 stars!CBdicX, Almere - Holland
